-Want to help make EmacsConf awesomer and learn a lot along the way?
+We're starting to gear up for EmacsConf 2022, and we would love to
+figure out how to work with your skills, interests, and availability.
 Volunteering is a great way to meet fellow Emacs geeks, tinker around
-with interesting packages and scripts, and develop your skills.
+with interesting packages and scripts, and learn a ton.
+
+<https://emacsconf.org/2022/organizers-notebook/#overall> has an
+overall prioritization matrix. If any of those options look like
+something you want to learn or help with, or if you want to make
+things even better than what's in the table, let us know.
+
+Given the number of talks this year, we're going to try to see if we
+can pull off two tracks. We've posted a draft schedule at
+<https://emacsconf.org/2022/draft-schedule/> and have e-mailed
+speakers to confirm their availability. This schedule staggers live
+Q&A sessions so that the person managing the streams can jump back and
+forth as needed. We'll figure out shifts once we've sorted out the
+processes and training info, but if you want to call dibs on
+something, feel free!
+
+# Some ideas for help wanted / upcoming projects before the conference
+
+- **Emacs Lisp:** Want to design the screens that will be displayed before
+  and after a talk? Bonus points if you can do it in Emacs with a
+  count-down timer until the start of the talk. See [organizers-notebook.org#intro](https://emacsconf.org/2022/organizers-notebook/#intro)
+  
+- **Infrastructure - file upload:** We would like to find a way for people
+  to upload large files through a web-based interface, since a number
+  of speakers had issues with FTP uploads last year.
+  [organizers-notebook.org#upload](https://emacsconf.org/2022/organizers-notebook/#upload)
+  has some options to explore. Do you have any recommendations or do
+  you want to do some research?
+
+- **Infrastructure - streaming:** Got any experience streaming with
+  OBS or gstreamer? We're going to try to have two (or more!) streams
+  this year, so it would be great to have more streamers on board.
+  Definitely let us know if you have any experience using a cloud
+  server to stream, or if you'd like to help figure it out (see
+  [organizers-notebook.org#streaming](https://emacsconf.org/2022/organizers-notebook/#streaming)).
+  It would be neat to have the streaming come from a VPS that
+  different people can control.
+
+Let us know what sorts of things you're interested in and what you'd
+like to learn more about. Doesn't have to be limited to this list!

+# Roles
 
 Here are some of the roles that you might be able to help with. Roles
 have different responsibilities, and a person can have multiple roles.
 You can help out with one or more of the things here, or you can
 suggest your own ways of making EmacsConf better.
